The Gift - 301 words
The GiftIn 'The Gift' by Louise Glock, the little
boy is calling oggie, oggie, athis front door.
This could mean several things, first we would
have to look atclues. The poem states that the
mother is praying to GOD. One could infer thatthe
boys dog died and he is calling without reward to
his lost friend.Therefore the most logical
response would be that the boy was in fact
callingfor his dead dog. In the opening paragraph
I stated what I thought the main idea for thepoem
was. But that does not mean that is the only
message implied. The childalso was calling for
oggie, oggie, but in fact every once in a while a
dog didstop by and the mom pointed this fact out

The Man Nobody Knows - 885 words
The Man Nobody Knows7/17/01 The author of this
book Bruce Barton was a partner in a successful
advertising firm during the 1920's. This was a
time when the industry of advertising was under
going some major changes. These changes had a lot
to do with a number of factors the first of which
being the post war prosperity this meant people
had more money than they ever had before. Another
one of these factors had to do with the high
number of teens who were now attending high
school, this proved to be important because it
created a whole other market which hadn't existed
before. One more factor was the advances made in
transportation and communication, these advances

The Volkswagen Beetle - 1,140 words
The people's car - generically, Volkswagen in
German - is almost as old as the automobile, and
the type was familiar in Germany long before the
advent of the Volkswagen. Usually these 'popular';
cars were minimal cars, though size and simplicity
did not necessarily bring them within the reach of
the ordinary man in the street. Henry Ford did
build a successful universal car, to sell at a low
price, but his Model T with its 2.9-litre engine
was by no means a small car, nor was the Model A
that followed it. When it was in production in the
late 1920s, small 'proper'; cars in Germany ranged
from the 700-cc DKW to the 1-litre Opel, with
small Adlers, the BMW Dixi (a license-built Austin
Seven) a ...

Thoreau - 571 words
Henry David Thoreau was man of simplicity, and if
he were to experience life in Cary, he would not
only be surprised, but disappointed in humanity
itself. Thoreau believed in the necessities of
life, nothing more, and the people of Cary live
lives exactly the opposite. Cary residents live
lives of material possessions, business, and
over-complexity. These traits of society are
precisely opposite of Thoreau's ideals and
beliefs. Not only would Thoreau be disappointed,
but his eyes would be filled with disgust, every
which way he looked in the Town of Cary and it's
people. Certainly material possessions are a
necessity to a point, but people in Cary drag it
out to the extreme, and worship thei ...

... , the goal of TCM is to balance out the Yin
and Yang in our bodies in order to be healthy. Not
surprisingly, TCM recommends eating a fairly equal
amount of Yin and Yang foods, while trying to stay
away from hot foods. Under certain conditions, TCM
could recommend the consumption of hot foods if
you had an illness from an overabundance of cold
foods. Hot foods correspond with acidic foods and
beverages like coffee, soda, any kind of fried
food, corn, beans, vinegar, and sugar. Cold foods
stand for alkaline foods which include most fruits
and vegetables. A general guideline to follow is,
"The greener the food, the higher its alkaline
level" (Cohen 165-192). This kind of diet can be
